After missing last week’s game with a concussion, Nick Foles will start for the Eagles against the Raiders.

Nick Foles will be back at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles when they play the Raiders on Sunday. Two weeks after suffering a concussion, Foles will start in place of Michael Vick, who is out for the second time this season with a hamstring injury. Rookie Matt Barkley will be Foles’ backup vs. Oakland (3-4).

Eagles coach Chip Kelly made the announcement Wednesday after watching Foles take part in Tuesday’s practice.
